 HARTFORD, March Il, 1887.
 Especial to the JOURNAL AND CoURIER.l
 Friday is considered the periodical legisla- tive dull day at the Capitol and to-day was no exception to the rule. There was consid- erable interest manifested, however, over the resolution decided upon last week, limit ing the reception of committee reports to March 29. This is direct point towards hastening adjournment. When the question was put to the House this morning there | were only few dissenting voices. The ju- dietary committee cannot finish up the large batch of business before them by this time, however, and it will probably have to be | heightened for their benefit. The farmer members of the House are beginning to ex- press themselves that the making of the States laws is becoming somewhat irksome | and that an adjournment cannot be taken too soon. "The small pay we receive" said one of them to-day, twill not remunerate us | for the getting behind in our early planting" \ To expedite matters the House to-day decid- | ed to hold a session next Tuesday morning. It is now the general belief that an adjourn ment can be taken on or before April Is. l A Hartford dentist claimed the other day | that million of dollars would not pay just damages done by ignorant or quack Prac- l titioners in Connecticut. The committee on judiciary today reported a substitute bill concerning the practice of the dental pTofes- sion. It provides that no person shall prac- tice dentistry unless he has received diplo- ma from some medical college, or who has not served eighteen months in a dental office and attended one full course of lectures in a dental college, or when coming from out of the State, who has not certificate from 8 board of dental examination, or who has not had six years practice. but nothing in the act shall interfere with the professional duties of physicians or interfere with stu dents in dental offices. Dentists of the State will be much interested in the report, which is undoubtedly much needed law. AS to chances of the bill becom ing law legisla- tor said to-day that as there are twenty-six States in the Union with dental laws three times the length of the one reported, and as it is a thoroughly good thing, both House and Senate will pass it. All the prominent dentists in the State favor the bill, and the few who did not subscribe to it gave as 8 reason that they wanted something more stringent.
 There were but few committee hearings to- day and the Capitol corridors were deserted by the legislators early in the afternoon. The committee education got together and gave hearing on the bill concerning the teaching of physiology in the public schools. The interpretations committee wrestled with a resolution incorporating the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners' union of America. There were many interested listeners at this hearing.
 The resolution concerning the bylaws of the Russell Trust association ofD New Haven, known in college circles as Skull and Bones" was taken up by the House just be- fore adjournment It had been favorably reported on by the committee. MT. Ken drick, of Wallingford, offered amend ment to the resolution before it passed so as to read provided these bylaws con tain nothing in opposition to the laws of this State or of the United States" The amendment was accepted by Mir. Hyde, who introduced the resolution. The nature of the society was made known and the resolution passed without dissent.
